| 51 | Jane Bullock | Albury is a small rural village and thats the way it should stay! |
| 52 | Frankie Bullock | Dont destroy the countryside! |
| 53 | Georgina Bullock | Save Albury! If phase one goes ahead, phase 2,3,4,5,6................ will be on its way!!! |
| 54 | Scott Moule | Think about the wildlife!!!!!!!! |
| 55 | chris chrystostomou | Why build more houses in a small rural location? choose a better site! |
| 56 | Jason Reynolds | |
| 57 | Julia Harries | I am completely opposed to such an inappropriate development on an equally inappropriate site |
| 58 | Mark Harries | Any building of this nature will completely ruin the rural aspect of Albury |
| 59 | Tom Harries | I have lived in this village all my life and really love the countryside here - these houses would spoil all that |
| 60 | Greg Harries | I am often walking and cycling round this part of the village; any new houses on this site would look terrible. |
| 61 | J Denton | |
| 62 | Mark Jones | We are completely against the development of any new housing estates in Albury. Other small developments I have seen in Much Hadham and Sawbridgeworth look absolutely appalling. They are rarely "inkeeping" with the look of the village they are placed in and usually detract hugely from much older surrounding buildings. 99 times out of 100 these new developments are a bolt on addition to the edge of an existing town. They are always ugly and orange with a complete lack of any character or distinctive architecture to be admired. All developers are interested in is how many tiny square boxes with no garden to speak of can they fit into a tiny space. I dread to think what we will make of them in years to come. I doubt very much we will look back on them with pride as we do at the majority of Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian housing.
I do not want my village to have one of these generic, soulless, monstrousities dropped into it, with a complete lack of thought towards residents feelings, as I have seen in other local towns. The only "thought" if you can call it that, that has been put in by Aldwyck housing, is towards how much money they can make with minimal effort.
They will not trample over my views and fields without a fight.
Yours Sincerely
Mark Jones (Local Resident) |
| 63 | Zoey Game | Both Peter my partner and I strongly object to any additional building in the village, we all ahve to keep the countryside green, and pay for that privilage by higher house prices and fewer houses. No price can ever be put on heritage, and keeping parts of it for the future generations to enjoy and live in. |
| 64 | Pauline Holttum | Once again Government interference forces local councils to push through inappropriate housing development. Green Belt land should NOT be built upon and lost for ever. I am totally opposed to this proposed development in Albury |
| 65 | Jo Brown | |
| 66 | Dr Michael J Davis | Totally inappropriate development on an inadequately researched greenfield site. |
| 67 | Elizabeth E Davis | I am very much opposed to this development and don't understand why a housing association would want to locate it's tennants in such an isolated spot with no facilites. |

| 69 | Anonymous | I have used my father's email address |
| 70 | Hampton | There is no justification for building affordable homes or any other substantial developement in a village that has virtually no facilities.
Albury does not even have a foot path through it making life threatening to walk through the village. |
| 71 | D Scott-Miller. | The location is inapropiate for any developement , its not even an infill site , there are many larger villages in East Herts with the infrastructure to support this particular housing need , ie schools , local shops and bus links . This part of Albury has nothing to offer or gain from this proposal . |
| 72 | Anonymous | Continued building is not the answer! |
| 73 | Alasdair Sutherland | There are excellent innovative methods available to both Central Government and County Councils to help the market balance housing supply and demand more consistently across England. As is evident from other comments on this website, low rise / horizontal developments of the type proposed create disproportionately high "collateral damage" relative to the small number of housing units created and so should not be encouraged by the State. |
| 74 | Joan Marrinan | Loss of specially designated greenbelt land in a category 3 village is totally unacceptable, when there are other options. |
| 75 | Maggie Peacock | Granting permission to build on greenbelt land will set a precedent for the future and destroy our lovely rural village. |
| 76 | David Peacock | This inappropriate development will destroy value countryside and affect widlife. It is not needed in Albury. |
| 77 | Ron Peacock | High Hall road has a high volume of traffic for a minor road. Any additional traffic from new development will escalate this problem. |
| 78 | Tracey Jopson | I think that it would be very wrong to build these proposed new homes and that to do so what ruin the character of a traditional and beautiful village. |
| 79 | Lee Williams | I think that it would be very wrong to build these proposed new homes and that to do so what ruin the character of a traditional and beautiful village. |
| 80 | Rosie Davis | I don't think that's a good sight for any new houses to be built |
| 81 | Betty Stears | Don't cover this precious piece of England with more concrete. |
| 82 | Jeremy Barnes | While there may be a need for affordable housing in the UK, I wonder if there is justification for using more green field sites and not brown field sites.Is the scale of the develpoment warranted in a village of this size? |
| 83 | Caroline Stears | I find the way that this planning application has gone ahead so far to be astonishing. From what I understand those to be directly affected by the proposal have not been informed until very recently. The impact upon Albury, its inhabitants and the surrounding countryside is substantial. I thoroughly appose such a proposal. |
| 84 | Micheal Stears | The cardinal principle of affordable housing is to provide cheap accommodation for locally employed young people and so prevent them having to move away from the area. Only a small number of people living in Albury would satisfy this criteria and the accommodation would rapidly be bought up by people from outside the area with no connections or no interest in Albury. The accommodation would soon be up for sale at market prices well beyond that for whom the accommodation was originally intended. |
| 85 | Susan Rhodes | An inappropriate development for a small, rural village. |
| 86 | glynis wicks | |
| 87 | sandy bingham | |
| 88 | Sharan Jackson | I object to this development on the grounds that it will set a precedent for large scale housebuilding in Albury. |
| 89 | Maxine Smith | I cant believe EHDC would even think about allowing anything to be built on this site, or that the Parish Council agreed to it without any consultation with local residents. |
| 90 | Brian Smith | Totally inappropriate on this site. Another idiotic scheme by the powers that be. |
| 91 | Anonymous | There is no need for extra housing in the village.new housing will not only increase the flow of traffic,but the village will also lose valuable conservation land |
| 92 | I & C.A.FOX | |
| 93 | Mary Hammatt | Totally inappropriate site for a development of this nature |
| 94 | Pauline Ellis | Keep the countryside as it should be, a development of this size would ruin the landscape and damage the wildlife. The area should be kept as part of rural England it is part of our history. |
| 95 | Cheryl Morgan | |
| 96 | Andrew Cockburn | My concern is the linking of the different hamlets that constitute Albury by creeping ribbon development rather than planned development or sensitive in-fill that would permit the necessary households to maintain the viability of the area, retain the school, pub etc without jeopardising the remaining virgin land. |

| 98 | Greg Dwyer | |
| 99 | Travis Cooper | |
| 100 | Steve Sheppard | Prove there is a real need before building on this greenfield site. |
